INSECURITY: BAN MOVEMENT OF CATTLE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH- GANDUJE
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State is advocating for a new law to ban the transportation of cattle and herdsmen from the northern part of Nigeria to the Southern regions of the country as a solution to incessant farmer-herdsmen clashes and cattle rustling.
“My advocacy is that we should abolish the transportation or trekking of herdsmen from the Northern part of Nigeria to the Middle Belt and to the Southern part of Nigeria.
“There should be a law that will ban, otherwise we cannot control the conflicts between herdsmen and farmers and cannot control the cattle rustling which is affecting us greatly,” Ganduje told journalists on Saturday in Daura, Katsina after a special lunch with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ganduje’s suggestion is coming on the heels of recent tension in Ondo and Oyo over quit notices issued to herdsmen by members of their host communities.
